🦠It’s #AMRAwarenessWeek! And we wanted to take the opportunity to spotlight India’s first ever comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance database—#AnresisIndia. As antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) continues to rise, doctors urgently need precise, data-backed insights to guide treatments. This is especially true in India where practises like over-the-counter access and agricultural antibiotic use accelerate the spread of #ResistantBacteria, ultimately making #Antibiotics less effective. Through an #IndoSwiss partnership initiated at the #AMRInnovationDialogue in 2023, Shraddha Karve of Ashoka University and Professor Andreas Kronenberg of the University of Bern have adapted Switzerland’s ANRESIS, the Swiss Centre for Antibiotic Resistance platform for India, creating a game-changing tool for tackling resistant bacteria. This platform compiles nationwide data, allowing doctors to see which antibiotics work best against specific bacteria across India: https://lnkd.in/gxfatXqw So the next time you need to fight a bacterial infection, ask your doctor if they’ve consulted Anresis India! Your medication could be more effective than you think! #AMR #AntibioticAwareness #IndoSwissCollaboration #HealthInnovation #AMRAwarenessWeek Institute of Infectious Diseases of the University of Bern Siddharth Bharath Lena Robra Jonas Brunschwig Neuberg Diagnostics Metropolis Healthcare

The #AIT India camp is off to the races! 🏁 We wanted to begin the week with the most important lesson for early-stage founders—how to tell your story. The brands that resonate most with investors, collaborators and customers are the ones that promise an experience beyond just the product 📚 . They showcase what their values are, what they believe in and how their product can help you through a cohesive customer journey. We’re grateful that the team at MXR.world was able to create such a comprehensive workshop on the topic to inspire and educate our founders about the art of storytelling. 🇨🇭Swiss Startups: SEPARATIC Timur Ashirov, Ph.D. | Azure Cell Therapies Bilal Fares | Myriad Optics Fahradin Mujovi | Impli Heath Hartle | Onescope Yannick Ormen | SaisiR - Science for Rehabilitation Claudia Bigoni | Brightank Dr. Kevin TURANI-I-BELLOTO | Miquel Solsona | Inveel Barbara Horvath | Phorest Serhii Shyshkanov 🇮🇳 Indian Startups: BioArtha Labs Pvt.

🌏 Calling all ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences staff! The 2025 ZHAW Staff Mobility Programme is your chance to make an impact in India. 🇮🇳 Connect with leading scientists and experts, advance your research, and broaden your expertise in a new environment. Take it from Johanna Seiwald, a Science Communicator 🗣️ at ZHAW who spent a month in Bengaluru this year speaking to #SciComm experts from @IISc, National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India, Coexistence Consortium, Cactus Communications, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE), TIFR, Indian Institute of Technology and Management (IITM), Bangalore and Science Gallery Bengaluru to understand how Indians approach disseminating information about new 🔬 scientific advancements. Johanna’s ongoing work is to convert those insights and knowledge into a easy-to-use handbook for academics and researchers about how communicating to the public is an integral part of their work, and with some guidelines about how they could ethically use social media to their advantage. 📔 The booklet will be published soon as an open resource. But in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of Johanna’s time in Bengaluru: https://lnkd.in/gTApk8EK Now, it’s your turn to create your own impact story in India! 🇮🇳 Applications are open till 15 November 2024—https://lnkd.in/giy5zhDz #ZHAW #StaffMobility #ResearchExchange #India #ResearchOpportunity
